Kylian Mbappé was said to have intervened to prevent a players' strike over Ramadan. The French Football Federation prohibit the interruption of football matches for Ramadan.
L'Equipe published a report in which he assured that the youth of the French team were about to organize a strike to show their discomfort. But the publication had an unexpected response: that of the footballer who they pointed out as the architect of having aborted a strike of footballers governed by the Koran. "Avoid putting my name on your salads and check your sources please... Good evening," the French striker wrote.
